Is it my imagination or are we seeing more 'William and Kate' headlines all the time

I'm wondering if I'm just noticing it more now I've thought of it- like when you buy a new type of car and you suddenly see that car everywhere- or do you think there's more headlines about them? (I find them bland and don't really want to see them in the news every day.)

She always has done, she is excellent value for money as is Charles.

I haven't seen any will and Kate news in months

It's a shame we can't have Anne really, maybe we should put that to the vote. Which of the queen's children would you like to see on the throne. I bet she'd win.

People will say its because they have young children but I'm sure they could do more

Isn't it totally different for Wills and Kate in that they have a young family? Surely that makes a massive difference? I'm sure their time will come for them to really step up like Charles and Anne do.

Ha, yes I just proved your point!

They had no children in 2011 and 2012, fair enough at the very end of 2012 Kate was sick and had George in 2013, the pair of them did very little in 2011/12. They never did any work and never will do more than a hundred engagements a year because they are naturally very lazy they always have been.

Diana worked as hard as Anne and Charles, she said there wasn't much to do, she still had loads of time to go to the gym, see friends and be with the children

Problem is W&K have been riding on the H&M hate. I suspect not deliberately, but the mood towards them has been very positive since the hate towards H&M. They’ve been able to hide their laziness through that as whatever they do, it’s all about how great they are. It’s only when you look at their numbers you see not much has changed since the pre H&M wave.

It’s a shame as Kate has the potential to do a lot for the RF’s image.

Diana genuinely enjoyed her work and being with the public. She worked hard.

In Harry's netflix documentary he said the engagements/ amount of work was not decided by the couple but by ( in his case) Prince Phillip and that some of Anne's counted engagements were very minor but I guess he would say that 😆

And a team of nannies, chefs, chauffeurs, servants, gardeners, PAs, you name it.

That's interesting. Not the baby grabbing her handbag, W answering a phone, Louis in a wheelbarrow, their anniversary? to me they seem to be in the 'news' daily.

The King has some engagements on there…

Show quote history

The King has one engagement listed - taking the Salute at this official Birthday Parade.

What counts as an engagement- for instance going to a film premiere? doing a zoom call? or is it going on the walkabouts and cutting ribbons?

All if them, including the Queen’s funeral.
